Hi!

Regarding this field: Disable Custom Dates - Add one date per line to disable it in the calendar.

None of the dates that are specific, i.e. 11/24/2016 9 (or) 2016-11-24 are blocking selection properly... I'm assuming it's because of the format but I can't seem to control it automatically changing. I thought I was going crazy because I knew I put it in right and carefully, over and over, but it's changing it and therefore not functioning!

Here's another screenshot showing the disabled past dates and the 15th of February:

I checked your form and your date limits are also working. I think you have figured this out already.

Let us know if you need more help on this.

Wow no i haven't resolved this. Here are screenshots of mine in browsers Firefox and Edge below. The dates that are specific with month, day year are not working properly, but the ones with month and year are working. Past dates work too.

February 15th is available to me:

November 24, 25 are available:

December 24, 25 are not available and are working, they are the ones with format for same date every year:

I am more baffled, now what? I'm on PC with Firefox and Edge, I also checked IE. I check both my desktop and laptop.

I'm not sure what you mean? The ones you have marked in red above are working fine. It's all of the other ones with the full date that are not working.

When I enter the date into the field 'Disable Custom Dates'

with the full format of : 2016-11-24, then close out... if I go right back into where I just typed the date in... it changed to this format: 11/24/2016.

These are the dates that still are allowing selection. Am I missing something?

Sorry, but your response doesn't actually make sense to me, sorry. Your two screenshots saying the dates are available for selection are actually NOT available for selection, which should be given the entries in Disable Custom Dates, if I understand it properly.

What I'm trying to get help with and the issue is I don't think being understood. If I enter the dates in the Disable Custom Dates field in the format in the example field, with the year-month-day and save/close out, then if I go right back in, it has changed the format... and that format is not disallowing the date from selection

Will you please review my first post, maybe I need to do a little video to explain it!

Thanks for the follow up.... so weird that it now is in the format I originally entered. I have tried it three times because it kept baffling me, but it is in proper format now. It just kept changing the date when I hit save to be with slashes 02/15/2016. That's why I copied/pasted what was happening. I don't know how the dates got to be all 2017, but I changed them back to 2016 except for a couple.

So weird! It's working now, I'll with check periodically to be sure and let you know if there is an issue! Thanks for the follow up!
